Dammit Yanlin, stop it. We don't need another thread to derail in that direction.

What?

I think the Egyptians thought the heart acted as the brain, and the brain was just useless mush.

Yeah, they just cut up the brain of a mummy and chucked it away.

It may also stem from the fact that a blow to the heart used to be invariably fatal, wheras a shot to the head wouldn't always be *shrug*.

What?

Ever since I discovered FSTDT, I couldn't stop talking about it.

Fundamentalists Say The Darndest Things?

When you're angry, afraid or excited your heart beats faster, so it makes sense to associate it with emotions.

[Leafsnail]

No, you were talking about anal that time.  I was wondering which other threads you derailed in that direction.

And it was me who introduced you to FSTDT, wasn't it?  Oops.

This. Give the man a cooky

If you press hard on your skin, it gets whiter. So it makes sense that it stands for deceit.

 It is really easy to go from a conclusion to a cause.

Well, yes, but it seems like a really logical connection to me. Theres no correlation between pressing down on your skin and deceiving someone, but any sort of strong emotion will probably send your heart racing. Of course if you've been exercising then your gonna have a heart that feels like its gonna jump out of your chest, and I've never heard of symbolism between fatigue and the heart.

Didn't japanese folklore associate feelings with the belly? Like, instead of someone having a black heart, they'll have a black belly, or something like that?

What did they make of vomiting and ulcers?

The humor theory is greek. Galenus, I think.

This is a warning for Yanlin and Sofia.  The forum guidelines are very clear about sexually oriented language.  Re-read them if you have to.

[Yanlin]

So a few tongue-in-cheek jokes are violating the forum policy of a forum that likes to discuss genocide, suicide, burning in magma, ripping every organ out one by one and etc?

This amazes me.

[Aqizzar]

It's the "Motion Picture Association of America" model.  All the violence in the world is mature realism.  Just make sure you don't mention sex.

I'm being needlessly snide.

[umiman]

Actually, I agree as well. They didn't say anything particularly major.
